I'm impressed. Caleb seems he can shoot from anywhere, but, its nice to see the whole team come together as one,

your exactly right man. well said.

@@martinward3084 yup, have a great day

UNC Team

The contrast to the Baylor game is insane. Last night's game was one of the best games I've watched all year in terms of officiating. The pace was FAST for it and I loved it.

I agree. And I want to mention I know how hard it is for them to ref these fast paced games and respect them for that but that Baylor game was just blatant and very obvious to any eye on TV. My 73-year-old dad who doesn't really care about much about watching the tournament watch that game and came to me and said that game seemed awfully weird about the referees calling everything one way. Normally he doesn't care and he's not Tarheel fan either

Such a relief

Well it also didnt feel like a hockey match like it did with baylor. It was more of a clean shootout than a dirty game so that also helps

Couldn’t agree more. Compare this game to the one against Baylor and it’s a drastic difference in officiating

You know it is! The blue bloods

I agree with you Normalguy. Bacots save from going out of bounds was maybe the play that saved the game for NC. UCLA will be back again with homegrown CA. talent.

Greatest moment of a great game!

@@garygoodin1426 That was the game defining play!!!

bacot had two great, timely rebounds in those last possessions and one on the defensive end

Yes! I said this too. The save from Bacot to Love was a HUGE game changer. Also Bacot's tip in. That was when they locked in the W.

True

Unc has been laser focused since they beat duke they find ways to win no matter what and with different players it’s not just 1

We even led throughout most of the game. We led 31-28 at halftime and 56-51 in the 2nd half but we still blew it. I'm just heartbroken we lost.

@@chaisesamargis3149 hoping unc makes the final four, because as a duke fan we want unc!

Caleb almost shot them into an L. He was driving and it was working, then jacked up 3s. Glad they won, but I rather Caleb just stuck to what was working and not force things. Whenever they lost the lead again, it was mainly because of back-to-back missed 3s.

Love that man

And Coach Smith smiling from above.

Jack P - Coach Smith looking down - smiling, using the chalkboard to signal, better to make the assist, leading to a better look; and Coach Williams, knowing he passed the "baton" to the right individual, who knows the "Carolina Way." Go Heels!

Class personified

Who would’ve ever thunk that North Carolina would be playing #15 St. Peter’s?

@@Gonzoweirdo1 hopefully nobody thunk anything

After watching what St. Peters did to Purdue, the Heels might actually have preferred to face the Boilermakers, who seemed slow and lumbering.

@@WildwoodClaire1 well, this was exactly what unc wanted i think. 69-49

@@msytuser Yep and Beat Duke 81-77

They are not duds, they are dudes!! ACC, stand up, go Heels!!

Dude's beard is like 40 yrs old. What's with calling him a kid?

@@blackreacher haha I guess he's a kid to me...he's 23...I was still a kid at 23

Glad nobody’s face hit Brady’s elbow

Yeah....I really like big man. He's active on defense which I really like. You don't find too many his size doing that. Shooting's superb and he can just str8 get grimy with it.

same. Either them or St. Peter's. But really, ANY of the sweet 16 deserve it. Congrats to ALL of them !

No kidding, re, your last sentence. Juzang and Jacquez were 0-11 to end the game, with the latter missing a good handful of close-ins, with bad banks off the board or the ball dancing off the rim. He wasn't able to practice so he had an excuse, but Juzang was atrocious except for his two or three early shots. He needs to work on his handle, because with his one-on-one mindset, he tends to fumble the ball away.

@@robjohnston366 Facts...Jacquez was Hurt & Ran out of Steam..Juzang Just Looked Completely Lost (Unlike Last Year) What was Disappointing was that Cronin Didn't Make any Defensive Adjustments on that Guy Love...He Basically won the Game for N.C. ..U.C.L.A will be Back Next Year to Take 12th🏆!!!

@@BrooklynEwms32LAKERS You're obviously referring to Bona, Bailey, and Andrews coming in -- a backup point guard! -- with hopefully Watson staying. I'm looking to what McClendon can bring after recovering from his injury as well as Etienne. I just found out that Jaquez is probably staying because he wants to attend college with his sister who's a star basketball player herself. So the team should be loaded. As far as coach's lack of adjustment for Love who hit those two consecutive high-arching three-pointers, I'd agree except for the scouting report against him which showed that he was 1-6 / 1-4 / 5 points against Baylor. During the year, he was .372/.378 in 2- and 3-pointers -- his three-point % was actually pretty good, and he was UNC's most prolific 3-p shooter. So coach needed a more detailed scouting report, but those two shots were undoubtedly prayers. I'll be rooting for UNC or maybe Villanova to win it all. Not a Coach K fan...

Dang you may actually be right.

That was a huge play, maximum effort some would say

Facts

no doubt! any mention of the dean always brings tears to my eyes and always will!

Not to mention the other unc players that are coaching with Davis..

Fr, even for his missed shots, I always think its going to go in because he looks so insanely confident when he shoots.

Mind you I've been following him since he was a HS junior He's usually been a low-efficiency playmaker I've NEVER, EVER seen him wild out like that on the biggest game of his life so far too dude just decided he was a legend

@@LunarySSF2 watch his games with Duke in 2020-2021 season

@@cosmiumiu yeah i remember he had like two 20-point games vs them, UNC torched Duke but against UCLA he had 27 points *in one half* it's way different

Kid seems to be able to hit from anywhere. It looked as if he got in a zone and just let it fly.

They still doubting coach that’s why

@@haydenwatsongk5117 has nothing to do with the coach. If you look at majority of the season you didn't know what to expect with the Tar heels. 1 minute they're playing hot then the next they lose like they never played in a game before. So it was mostly you don't know what you're going to get out of them. They are playing way more hotter and tougher now than they did all regular season. They're being taken seriously now

St. Peter’s though…

@@ranjandey3233 yea I like St. Peter’s but ever since that duke win in Cameron this UNC team looks like there on mission and no one is going too stop that

Yeah and ucla had no Anders for bacott unc is just too big on the inside and manek being able to shoot the 3 will drag St. Peter’s out of the paint

Please no! It’s almost too much riding on that game? A lifetime of bragging rights would be on the table.

Duke gotta go through my Razorbacks first. wps

Yeah the rim on the other end of the court didn’t agree with him in the 1st half

even the slobber/SPIT from his mouth.

I think he got in a zone. When that happens, you let it fly.

@@TheDistrict644 let even the SLOBBER from his MOUTH fly ? yulk !

What do you mean? Literally everyone is talking about that save 🤣🤣🤣

U and me both lol.. But Love came up HUGE!!

Yeah I didn’t understand why they didn’t go inside with bacott and manek but it was there defense as well tht clutched it up there size and speed on defense is what really shows about tht team

They proved all the qualities of a great team I'm so proud of them young men. Let's go tarheels

worry not says the lord

Resilience got them through, on top of Caleb zoning out.

Havent seen the heels that much the season, but, he seems like the real deal.

just LIKE that slobby SPIT that was flying from his mouth.

@@TheDistrict644 he is

when he’s on he’s ON

@@adidakurt1878 oh u big mad

I WANNA SAY IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD GAME BUT I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. UCLA PLAYED US REAL GOOD TONIGHT. HADN'T IT NOT BEEN FOR LOVE'S HOT HAND, UCLA COULD'VE CAME DOWN AND DROVE TO THE BASKET LIKE THEY HAD BEEN DOING ALL NIGHT?

It was a great game back n forth nobody ran away with it no 7 or 10 point lead but the takeaways were unc was just to big inside and love hit those two daggers at the end tht sealed it

But they just beat Purdue who were a bigger team than them. The Peacocks literally just beat a team that most thought would’ve had this problem.

Nah Purdue didn't have a better team they just choked

@@Funkywaters I agree with you. Wow, Bacots save with less than 2 minutes leading to the tying three was a huge, huge play. This game almost was won by UCLA.

Please no😂 hope that name never catches on

@@tajraleigh2278 🤣🤣 Yeah on second thought you're probably right. I think I got carried away in the moment there, I take it back. 😂😂

You ain't watched a lot of games then.

🤣🤣🤣Rite

Yea is true! They shot like NBA style

This was an all time classic in my book too

Literally pain man. Hopefully juzang or jaime come back another year. Amari, Dylan, and adem along with jaime and juzang are gonna be scary

Juzang and jaime will most likely go to the draft

Thats what happens when you think you’re contender but are really a pretender.

@@Phil_Deeznutz714 nah man ucla was definitely a contender and a really good team

One of the best officiated and played games by both teams. True blue bloods. Let's go heels though.

don't say that it's a jinx

For his size, I think he did pretty well. Not the best feet, but, kept the hands up and stayed active. As long as he's dropping those bombs, I can live with that. If Caleb zones out the rest of the tourney and the team plays as one, look out.

He played like an idiot. Had one of those prayers not been answered, the Carolina fans would be crucifying him today. There would be calls to fire the coach for leaving him in the game. Instead, UNC fans are bursting with pride talking about how this is their favorite Carolina team. Funny how sports work. A scrub who launches 10 threes with a guy draped all over him in a span of 10 minutes during a regulation basketball game is being celebrated as a “hero” with “killer instinct”. Carolina won this game, not because of an incredible performance by that guy. Actually, Carolina couldn’t establish anything offensively against a tactically superior defensive opponent. They won because they were a superior rebounding team. Carolina is one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country. They clean up the offensive glass like UCLA suffocates offenses. It was a few rebounds that won Carolina the game. The rebounds negated Love’s imbecilic shot selection.

@@showtimebruin7821 cope and seethe

@@tannerebeling1056 do you disagree with anything said?

He got in a zone for sure.

@@TheDistrict644 he is an impressive player, UNC is much better than an 8 seed, good luck to them!

U all are never going this far so don’t worry u been almost getting there since 1998 same with football

been there...the bicentennial that is...go Heels!!

Except duke

That would be a battle. It would take a toll on who advanced between the two.
